Rising Android Malware

Mobile antivirus identifies malware applications before it can be fully installed into a mobile phone or tablet. Integrating antimalware products into a hardware, software, or service allows a partner to protect their users from infected applications. Partners are using Bitdefender mobile solutions to:

Increase their revenue stream from security products.

Add value to their product or service.

Improve their competitive advantage over other vendors.

Weakest Link

Antimalware security is only as strong as the weakest link. For many organizations, the emerging mobile platform has brought new challenges and headaches. Individuals and organizations are struggling to put measures in place to prevent malicious attacks.

Often times mobile security products are not updated to identify the latest threats.

Two-factor authentication which was known to stop online criminals is no longer a strong deterrent for these malicious code writers.

Electronic application stores do not always screen applications to determine whether it is malware or not and users are downloading these applications to their devices.

Disguising Information

There has been a dramatic increase in mobile applications being developed and disguised as fun, innocent programs. Unknowing, users are downloading innocent looking applications to their mobile devices.

These innocuous applications are sending private information that could compromise the users and company information that is stored on these mobile devices.

Some applications are identified as malicious, but are sending unencrypted password information, text messages, or phone numbers.
